*****Official Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution discussion thread*****

I think this will be closer to the look and maybe the feel of the first than the second, so hopefully it will remain on target.

Someone's uploaded a scan of the review if anyone fancies reading it.

Will this game be steamworks?

 

[Ascendancy]

Yup.

NM!

 

[cHk4]

The £89.99 edition, is the only thing extra the statue? Looking at that and the Augmented edition they seem the same apart from the statue.

Is is third person?

Hate third person games.


Look at what it did to thief.

 

[Evilsod]

Its third person when you use cover, rest of the time its first person.

Huh? Since when did Thief have third person in it?

 

[Shamikebab]

Not really, some bits are third person (going up ladders, executing takedowns.)

I haven't looked through the whole thread(so apologies if its mentioned) but is this available for preload on steam yet? If not when is it available.

I need to be able to download the majority of the files before the end of my time off otherwise it wont be worth my time getting a digital copy

It's not out for another two weeks. I'd expect the pre-load (if there is one) two or three days before release.

Damn, so much for wishful thinking, it looks like i might be buying a retail copy then as I head back the week before. I once downloaded at 63 bytes a second using the wifi at nelson , it wasn't even any good once it sped back up again. I was not impressed, especially since it costs £1/hour.

It's Steamworks anyway. Plus a retail copy will be cheaper than the store.

 

[Shamikebab]

I just can't wait for this, the last few trailers have been stunning

 

[Robert]

Pre-ordered!

 

[Secret_Window]

I'm looking more and more forward to playing this. I thought that the excitement and hype of it was wearing off, but if anything all this new news has reignited it. I think I will go for the augmented edition, just need to find it at a good price.

 

[platypus]

I just can't decide whether to preorder this or not, or wait for a Steam special offer because I can't stand it being the huge let down it might be.

Nelson? Just go to any coffee shop in the centre of Cambridge and you'll get reasonable wifi. Failing that come round to mine .

 

[blasphemyweb]

Just pre-ordered on Steam. Physically excited about it

Nelson as in HMS Nelson(portsmouth), that would be a long journey...thanks for the offer though.

Whats the average internet speed like at coffee shops? Theres a costa in town which isnt too far away

If I buy retail I will have to buy on the day so it wont exactly be cheap.
